Buying a home in Centrum, Valkenswaard.
Valkenswaard Centrum is where you walk between the shops and terraces, just steps from the station. The homes here are mostly from the 1930s through 1970s, many detached or semi-detached with space around them. Your neighbours are a mix: families who've been here twenty years, young couples just starting out, people who commute to Eindhoven for work. Everything you need is within a five-minute walk: baker, supermarket, pharmacy. It's not a trendy hotspot, but it's a place where you actually live.
